Bangkok Airways revamps in-flight food

Bangkok Airways has teamed up with one of Thailand’s most famous chefs to revamp its in-flight menus.

Chef McDang has been brought in to reposition the airline’s culinary offerings. Available on both domestic and international routes, the new ‘Tastes of Asia’ menus will include a range of popular local and regional dishes created especially for the airline.

Starting from 1 November 2014, the new menus will be available on all Bangkok Airways flights departing from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. They will then be rolled out to ex-Koh Samui flights from 11 November 2014.

“Our new menus will show our passengers how much we care by offering something special even on short flights. We believe that Chef McDang’s specialties, exclusively created for Bangkok Airways, will add an even more memorable flying experience for our passenger,” said Puttipong Prasathong O-soth, president of Bangkok Airways.

Chef McDang said he wanted the new menus to capture the “Thai and Asian essence”. “We are also preparing to welcome our entry to AEC (ASEAN Economic Community) with these menu items,” he added.
